@Antonio Maria Farinha - I started out with a condo, but I soon realized that scaling is dependent upon how quickly you can come up with funds for down payments and equity.

Hello Bigger Pockets,I've been in construction for a little under a decade now, and I know what it takes to build a house from the ground up.

So, while prices currently remain similar to last year, we are seeing softer buyer demand and increased inventory compared to 2023.Here are the full stats for Austin and the greater metro:Here’s a chart showing the median sales price of a single-family home in the City of Austin this year through August:The median sales price for a single-family home in August 2024 was up roughly 11% from the beginning of the year.

Additionally, with a 7% interest rate, I'm paying a significant amount in interest.On the other hand, if I save up for a down payment on a rental property, once I have enough to purchase the right property, it shouldn't require any additional money from me, and I'll be building equity without needing to contribute more.Does anyone have experience with this?

She breezed through her application, has great references and credit score, had already paid her July rent/security deposit, has insurance in place, and is set up for auto-pay going forward.Thanks for your insights!

Augusta, GA’s housing market has remained strong and steady through the ups and downs nationwide due to our large military base, Ft.

Anyway, I value everyone's time, and just in case you see my name pop up in a forum thread, you will have some context.

Section 8 can be a very smart play, but it's not great for first-time investors who are not planning (and have the resources) to continue the play to understand and perfect the obligations and to ensure the best renters.
